A new year is almost here, so what better time to start looking at making some new additions to your investment ? But which ASX shares could be top buys in 2025? Listed below are 10 that analysts think could generate strong returns for investors over the next 12 months. They are as follows: ( ) With this biotherapeutics giant forecast to deliver strong earnings growth in the coming years, a number of brokers are tipping its shares as a buy. One of those brokers is Bell Potter, which has a buy rating and $345.00 price target on them. It notes that "CSL continues to be a high quality, global operator with a multi-year gross margin recovery well underway to drive earnings expansion." ( ) Goldman Sachs thinks that pizza chain operator Domino's could be an ASX share to buy in 2025. Its analysts appear to believe that the worst is now behind the company. They recently "reiterate[d] buy on earnings recovery trajectory with new management and limited valuation downside." The broker has a buy rating and $39.10 price target on its shares. ( ) This counter drone technology company's shares have had a wild ride in 2024. But after pulling back materially from their highs, the team at Bell Potter believes major upside potential is on the cards in 2025. The broker has a buy rating and $1.20 price target on its shares. ( ) Goodman Group could be an ASX share to buy. It is an integrated industrial property company. It appears well-placed to benefit from strong demand for industrial property and its network of data centres. Morgan Stanley has an overweight rating and $42.40 price target on its shares. ( ) This miner's shares were sold off in 2024, potentially creating a buying opportunity in 2025. That's the view of analysts at Bell Potter, which believe that the company will soon benefit from a lithium supply deficit in 2026. The broker recently upgraded its shares to a buy rating with a $2.95 price target. ( ) Another ASX share that could be a buy in 2025 is wine giant Treasury Wine Estates. With the China market reopening to Australian wine, the Penfolds owner appears well-placed to deliver a strong result in FY 2025. Morgan Stanley expects this to be the case and recently put an overweight rating and $14.60 price target on its shares. ( ) It was an eventful year for this logistics solutions technology company in 2024. Its shares enter 2025 some distance from their 52-week high, which could be a buying opportunity according to Morgan Stanley. It has an overweight rating and $160.00 price target on the ASX share. ( ) This energy giant could be severely undervalued as we enter 2025 according to analysts at Morgans. The broker has an add rating and $33.00 price target on its shares. It said: "Despite Brent oil trading in line with our long-term forecast, WDS' share price implies a near cycle-low oil price level. We do not see this as capable of being explained by WDS' growth profile (comfortably funded) or risks around non-core assets such as Browse." ( ) This supermarket giant's shares were sold off in 2024. This could be a buying opportunity according to Goldman Sachs. Its analysts have a buy rating and $36.20 price target on its shares. They note that Woolworths' shares are "trading below fair value." ( ) Finally, Goldman Sachs thinks that Xero shares could outperform again in 2025. The broker recently put a buy rating and $201.00 price target on the cloud accounting platform provider's shares. It said: "Given the company's pivot to profitable growth and corresponding faster earnings ramp, we see an attractive entry point into a global growth story."President-elect Trump wants to again rename North America’s tallest peakgame 2024 。

INVESCO Ltd. stock remains steady Tuesday, underperforms marketCharlotte Crosby trebles security measures to ‘feel safe’ amid attempted robberyMANCHESTER, England-- Manchester City squandered a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday after another calamitous performance from Pep Guardiola's stuttering side who have suffered an alarming slump in form. Erling Haaland scored either side of an Ilkay Gundogan strike for the hosts, who looked poised for victory aftera five-game losing streak in all competitions. But defensive blunders in the dying minutes allowed Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko to score as City dropped to 15th in the Champions League table on eight points. "We lost a lot of games lately, we're fragile and of course we needed a victory," Guardiola said as his side threw away the lead, with the English champions having been trounced 4-0 at home by Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday. "I don't know if it's mental. The first goal cannot happen and the second as well. After that we forget what happened, we were desperate to win and do well, we do well but don't win games." City have conceded two or more goals in six successive matches in all competitions for the first time since 1963 - a season that saw them relegated from the English top flight. They are also the first team in Champions League history to lead by three goals as late as the 75th minute but fail to win. "Difficult," said City defender Nathan Ake. "We played quite well, all under control, then things changed. We have to stay strong mentally, believe in ourselves, and stay together ... and make sure we get out of it. "The only thing we can do is fight back and stay strong ... When you're three-nil up, it feels like a defeat when you give up three goals at home." City parked in the visitors' end for much of the night and following several near misses in the first half, Haaland got the hosts on the scoresheet in the 45th by striking a blistering penalty kick past Timon Wellenreuther after he was fouled. TURNAROUND Gundogan doubled the lead in the 50th minute with a deflected low long-range shot before Haaland scored again three minutes later when he slid in to stab home a Matheus Nunes cross for his 46th goal in Europe's elite club competition. At that stage, it was all smiles among the Etihad crowd. Yet astonishingly, Feyenoord replied with three goals inside 15 minutes, first from Hadj Moussa, who pounced on a careless ball back from Josko Gvardiol in the 75th minute. Then Gimenez struck seven minutes later when he chested in Jordan Lotomba's cross, created from another wayward Gvardiol pass that had a furious Guardiola with his head in his hands for several minutes and Gvardiol tugging his shirt over his face. Hancko equalised in the 89th when keeper Ederson was beaten by Igor Paixao who sent over a cross for Hancko to head in. "It was an unbelievable evening," said Feyenoord boss Brian Priske. "To be 3-0 down around 75 minutes away from home and against the best team in the world and then to be able to pick up a really important point for us - an unbelievable result." City's Jack Grealish narrowly missed scoring a late winner but his deflected strike grazed the crossbar. The home fans booed their side after the final whistle. What could have been a massive confidence boost for Guardiola's struggling team now raises more questions ahead of their toughest test of the season yet, a clash with Premier League-leading Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. Defeat would leave City 11 points adrift of the Reds. Feyenoord, who are fourth in the Eredivisie, are 20th in the Champions League standings with seven points and among the playoff places with three games remaining in the first phase.

Tourism moot planned next month

Already bracing for funding cuts under a new Trump administration, U.S. Treasury officials are calling on Congress to unlock $20 billion in IRS enforcement money that is tied up in legislative language that has effectively rendered the money frozen. Hoping to unlock the funds in upcoming budget negotiations, Treasury officials are rushing for action before President Joe Biden’s term ends. The $20 billion in question is separate from another $20 billion rescinded from the agency last year. However, the legislative mechanism keeping the government afloat inadvertently duplicated the one-time cut. Treasury officials warn of dire consequences if the funding is effectively rescinded through inaction. The loss of that money would lead to an increase of the national deficit by $140 billion, Treasury Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo said on a call to reporters on Tuesday. There would be 6,000 fewer audits of wealthy individuals and 2,000 fewer audits of large corporations, and the agency would have to go on a hiring freeze, he said. “The IRS is going to potentially have to make dramatic decisions about stopping hiring and starting to budget for a world which they don’t have $20 billion which will stop a lot of their progress,” Adeyemo said. ”If they don’t get that $20 billion that is at risk they would run out of enforcement money at the current pace sometime in fiscal year 2025.” Adeyemo was joined by Maya MacGuineas, president of Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, who also issued a warning about the ramifications of overall spending cuts to the IRS, and how pulling back agency enforcement funding could negatively impact the federal deficit. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the coronavirus pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will exceed spending on national security. “Given the fiscal situation we deeply hope there is no backsliding in the coming months and years with rescinding, diverting, repealing any of the revenue that is going effectively into the IRS to help with tax collection,” MacGuineas said. The federal tax collection agency originally received an $80 billion infusion of funds under the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act though that money has already been clawed back. A 2023 debt ceiling and budget-cuts deal between Republicans and the White House resulted in $1.4 billion rescinded from the agency and a separate agreement to take $20 billion from the IRS over the next two years and divert those funds to other nondefense programs. The news also comes as President-elect Donald Trump and a Republican majority sweep of the Senate and House of Representatives promise major policy changes for the White House and Congress. While Trump has spoken at length about his proposed tax plans, he has not spoken as much about the agency in charge of administering tax policy or explicitly said he would cut the IRS’ budget. He has, however, repeated a debunked claim that the IRS has hired 87,000 armed enforcement agents to pursue taxpayers. Congressional Republicans, meanwhile, have threatened to take back the tax collection agency’s modernization funding and have vowed to cut the IRS’ Direct File program. Already bracing for funding cuts under a new Trump administration, With inflation still elevated, Federal Reserve officials expressed caution at U.S. stocks rose to records Tuesday after Donald Trump’s latest Federal authorities have released an update on the investigation into

The latest development came hours after thousands of his supporters, defying government warnings, broke through a barrier of shipping containers blocking off Islamabad and entered a high-security zone, where they clashed with security forces, facing tear gas shelling, mass detentions and gunfire. Tension has been high in Islamabad since Sunday when supporters of the former PM began a “long march” from the restive north-west to demand his release. Khan has been in a prison for more than a year and faces more than 150 criminal cases that his party says are politically motivated. Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, led the protest, but she fled as police pushed back against demonstrators. Hundreds of Khan’s supporters are being arrested in the ongoing night-time operation. Interior minister Mohsin Naqvi told reporters that the Red Zone, which houses government buildings and embassies, and the surrounding areas have been cleared. Leaders from Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, or PTI, have also fled the protest site. Earlier on Tuesday, Pakistan’s army took control of D-Chowk, a large square in the Red Zone, where visiting Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is staying. Since Monday, Mr Naqvi had threatened that security forces would use live fire if protesters fired weapons at them. “We have now authorised the police to respond as necessary,” Mr Naqvi said Tuesday while visiting the square. Before the operation began, protester Shahzor Ali said people had taken to the streets because Khan had called for them. “We will stay here until Khan joins us. He will decide what to do next,” Mr Ali said. Protester Fareeda Bibi, who is not related to Khan’s wife, said people have suffered greatly for the last two years. “We have really suffered for the last two years, whether it is economically, politically or socially. We have been ruined. I have not seen such a Pakistan in my life,” she said. Authorities have struggled to contain the protest-related violence. Six people, including four members of the security services, were killed when a vehicle rammed them on a street overnight into Tuesday. A police officer died in a separate incident. Dozens of Khan supporters beat a videographer covering the protest for the Associated Press and took his camera. He sustained head injuries and was treated in hospital. By Tuesday afternoon, fresh waves of protesters made their way unopposed to their final destination in the Red Zone. Mr Naqvi said Khan’s party had rejected a government offer to rally on the outskirts of the city. Information minister Atta Tarar warned there would be a severe government reaction to the violence. The government says only the courts can order Khan’s release. He was ousted in 2022 through a no-confidence vote in Parliament. In a bid to foil the unrest, police have arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters since Friday and suspended mobile and internet services in some parts of the country. Messaging platforms were also experiencing severe disruption in the capital. Khan’s party relies heavily on social media and uses messaging platforms such as WhatsApp to share information, including details of events. The X platform, which is banned in Pakistan, is no longer accessible, even with a VPN. Last Thursday, a court prohibited rallies in the capital and Mr Naqvi said anyone violating the ban would be arrested. Travel between Islamabad and other cities has become nearly impossible because of shipping containers blocking the roads. All education institutions remain closed.After delay, Trump signs agreement with Biden White House to begin formal transition handoff
